Design: Case report. Setting: Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, St. John's Medical College Hospital, India. Patient: A 22-year-old man with a cord-like neck mass of 6 months' duration. Investigations and intervention: Investigations included Doppler ultrasound of the neck, which showed thrombosis of the right external jugular vein. Wedge biopsy revealed a granulomatous inflammation with focal necrosis completely replacing the vessel. Serological testing for vasculitides was negative. Transcervical excision of the vein was carried out after identifying normal vessel distally and proximally. Histopathological examination of the vein proved the lesion consistent with primary cutaneous granulomatous phlebitis (PCGP). Conclusion: Isolated venous inflammatory diseases with neither identifiable active vasculitis nor arteritis are rarely seen. PCGP is distinctly unusual. We report a case of PCGP of the external jugular vein presenting as an elongated cord-like nodular lesion in the lateral neck of insidious onset.

Venous aneurysms are rare causes of neck mass. Among neck veins, aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely uncommon. We present a case of a woman with a history of prior internal jugular vein catheterization who presented at a rural primary health care unit with a nontender progressively enlarging swelling in the right supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination revealed a saccular dilatation of the external jugular vein, suggesting a posttraumatic venous aneurysm. Saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein are uncommon and only rarely lead to serious complications. Access to ultrasound examination can allow early detection of this entity.

Background: Congenital neck mass is a very common problem in children in Otolaryngology & Head-Neck Surgery and Paediatric Surgery Department but data of our country is inadequate and there is lack of published study. This study will help to diagnose congenital neck masses, evaluate the success of surgical treatment in our country.Objective: To assess the frequency of congenital neck mass in children and to see the clinical presentation of different congenital neck mass.Study design: Cross sectional prospective study.Place of study: Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH)l, Dhaka and Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh.Methodology: Patients below the age of 18 years with congenital neck mass who presented to three tertiary level hospitals from January 2010 to December 2010 were included in this study. Total thirty six patients were purposively selected. Age, gender, types of swelling and location were examined, investigations were done. Data was analyzed with SPSS software and was presented in the form of tables, diagrams and pie charts.Results: 36 patients with different congenital neck swelling were examined. Out of 36 patients, thyroglossal cysts were commonest- 21(58.33%). Other congenital lesions were as follows: Branchial cyst 7(19.44), Lymphangioma 3(8.33%), Haemangioma 3(8.33%), Dermoid cyst 2(5.55%). Midline was most common location 21 (58.33%).Conclusion: Congenital neck masses constitute important differential diagnosis for neck masses. These masses constitute diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for many clinicians. Correct diagnosis, safe and complete surgical excision requires sound knowledge of the location and extent of these masses.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjo.v18i1.10409  Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2012; 18(1): 16-22

This cross sectional prospective study was carried out in the Department of Otolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery, Tairunessa Memorial Medical College Hospital (TMMCH), Boardbazar, Gazipur, Bangladesh in a period of 12 months from 01.01.2012 to 31.12.2012 among those complaining hearing loss attending in ENT OPD. The aim of the study was to find out pattern and causes of hearing loss. Two hundred cases of hearing impaired people were taken and the data were collected by interviewing the cases as per questionnaire from history, examinations & investigation reports. The commonest type of hearing loss was conductive type. In the right ear 114 cases (63.33%) of conductive type of deafness, 36 cases (20%) of mixed type of deafness and 30 cases (16.67%) of sensorineural type of deafness. In the left ear 106 cases (61.62%) of conductive type of deafness, 40 cases (23.25%) of mixed type of deafness and 26 cases (15.13%) of sensorineural type of deafness. This study showed that females (58%) were mostly affected than males (42%) and garments workers (45%) were commonest group of people. From this study we got both ears were involved by disease process in 76% of the patients and only right ear was 14% and only left ear was 10%. The commonest cause of hearing loss is chronic suppurative otitis media. The ear diseases are common in our country but its diagnosis is usually delayed, till then certain amount of hearing loss has occurred. So awareness, early diagnosis and proper treatment are needed to improve the situation.

Internal Jugular Veins

The jugular venous system constitutes the primary venous drainage of the head and neck. It includes a profundus or subfascial venous system, formed by the two internal jugular veins, and a superficial or subcutaneous one, formed by the two anterior and two external jugular veins. We report one case of unilateral anatomical variations of the external and anterior jugular veins. Particularly, on the right side, three external jugular veins co-existed with two anterior jugular veins. Such a combination of venous anomalies is extremely rare. The awareness of the variability of these veins is essential to anesthesiologists and radiologists, since the external jugular vein constitutes a common route for catheterization. Their knowledge is also important to surgeons performing head and neck surgery.

Purpose: To report the clinical findings of a patient who presented with an atypical bilateral fungal retinitis that was established by retinochoroidal biopsy. Methods: Case report. Results: A 56-year-old systemically healthy man presented with progressive visual loss in his left eye for 3 weeks. Visual acuity was 20/40 in the left eye, and 20/20 in the right eye and fundus examination showed macular retinal pigmented epithelium changes in his left eye. Over the following four months, his lesions progressed to serpiginous-like widespread retinal pigmented epithelium atrophy and his visual acuity decreased to 20/100, but no signs of ocular inflammation were found. Treatment with oral corticoids, valganciclovir and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole showed no efficacy. Blood analysis and cultures, laboratory investigations, and imaging tests were carried out looking for infectious and inflammatory diseases, but all tests were negative. Two months later, the patient presented with the same kind of lesions in the other eye (right eye), so he was subjected to retinochoroidal biopsy. Histopathological examination of specimen revealed the presence of intraretinal and choroidal fungal hyphae. Oral voriconazole was initiated achieving clinical remission, but no visual improvement was obtained. The source of the infection remains unknown since all tests results were negative. However, his profession as brewmaster might be related to the origin of the infection. Conclusion: Diagnosis of intraocular fungal infection can be challenging. Retinochoroidal biopsy may be useful to establish the diagnosis in those atypical cases with nonrevealing workup and inflammation localized to the retina.

Conductive Hearing

Otosclerosis is the most frequent cause of conductive hearing loss in patients with intact tympanic membrane. It can be treated by surgery with various techniques. Because of limited manipulation and comparably similar results, stapedotomy at present is preferred over other surgical techniques by most surgeons. Here we present the operative results of 35 otosclerotic patients who underwent stapedotomy between January 2009 - October 2010 in the department of Otolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Shahid Suhrawardhy medical college & hospital, Dhaka. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hearing results following stapedotomy in otosclerosis surgery. The average air-bone gap of patients improved significantly to 21.74 dB after operation. Other hearing parameters of patients (including air conduction, bone conduction, speech discrimination score, and tinnitus) also improved. No patient experienced persistent vertigo after the operation and pre operative tinnitus resolved in 12 out of 22 patients. Stapedotomy is a safe and effective modality for improving conductive hearing loss in otosclerotic patients. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2019; 25(2): 85-93
